Marco Enrico Bossi (Born Salo, 1861 – died at sea between New York and Le Havre, 1925), studied at the Milan Conservatory under Polibio Fumagalli (organ), Francesco Sangalli (piano), Carlo Boniforti, Cesare Dominiceti and Amilcare Ponchielli (composition). He was appointed organist and maestro di cappella at Como Cathedral (1881-1889), taught the organ at the Naples conservatory (1890-1895) and was director of the Conservatories and taught composition in Venice (1895-1902), Bologna (1902-11) and Roma (1916-1923). Bossi was a famous performer, composer and teacher (he reorganised the syllabuses of the Conservatories), and was the first internationally famous Italian concert artist. He was conferred the highest ranks in the Kingdom, became an honorary member of the most prestigious foreign and Italian Academies and enjoyed the esteem and friendship of great musicians and men of letters. Amongst these there were Giuseppe Verdi – who wrote from Busseto: "...it goes without saying that all your compositions are written with great mastery..." as well as Arrigo Boito, Giacomo Puccini, Jules Massenet, Camille Saint-Saens, Giovanni Pascoli and Gabriele D’Annunzio. He died on the French ship "De Grasse" when crossing the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Le Havre, on his return from a triumphant tour in the United States. This CD contains the first recording of all the wedding music written by Bossi, except for Nuptialia (Gavotta) from 6 pezzi di media difficolta for piano, Op. 86 (1892), and Il canto dell’anima (Aspirazione) for cello and piano, composed in 1919 for the nuptials of his son Renzo.
